Description
The Normandy Panzer Offensive: August 1944 In the summer of 1944, the German army launched Operation Lüttich, a counteroffensive against the Allied forces in northern France. This highly illustrated study examines the failed offensive and its consequences for the German position in Normandy. Following the successful landings on D-Day and the consolidation of the Allied advance during Operation Cobra, the Wehrmacht was ordered to launch a large-scale Panzer attack across the First US Army sector. However, thanks to an intercepted radio message, the Allies were well-prepared for the offensive and ultimately repelled the oncoming panzers, leading to a significant German army becoming encircled in the Falaise Pocket.
